Market prawn aka grey prawn.
I feed fahaka with mp and frozen ghost shrimp, alternative is live crayfish or snails but take note of the source as it may contain bacteria especially snail.

Snails got bacteria, must quarantine it well.

I got the snails originally from C328 then put them in a plastic breeding box in a corner of my tank to store/breed. So far quite lucky no problems yet

There were quite a few Congo's spotted at C328 a week's ago, not sure if still have.

3 weeks ago spotted 2 hairy puffers at Y618, was eyeing them for a few days. The day I decided to buy, went down in the afternoon to see still there or not, both were available. That same night I went , both gone, sad! Who one shot buy 2 man. I only wanted 1 lol.

Hairy puffer is seasonal so rare to spot one, see it faster buy.
I used to buy two if spotted, partition tank to keep, 1ft cube space enough.
Super aggressive, love to see it hunt especially crayfish.
